问题
I have a pandas data frame like:
a b
A 1
A 2
B 5
B 5
B 4
C 6
I want to group by the first column and get second column as lists in rows:
A [1,2]
B [5,5,4]
C [6]
Is it possible to do something like this using pandas groupby?
回答1:
You can do this using groupby to group on the column of interest and then apply list to every group:
In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame( {'a':['A','A','B','B','B','C'], 'b':[1,2,5,5,4,6]})
df
Out[1]:
a b
0 A 1
1 A 2
2 B 5
3 B 5
4 B 4
5 C 6
In [2]: df.groupby('a')['b'].apply(list)
Out[2]:
a
A [1, 2]
B [5, 5, 4]
C [6]
Name: b, dtype: object
In [3]: df1 = df.groupby('a')['b'].apply(list).reset_index(name='new')
df1
Out[3]:
a new
0 A [1, 2]
1 B [5, 5, 4]
2 C [6]

If performance is important go down to numpy level:
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': np.random.randint(0, 60, 600), 'b': [1, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6]*100})
def f(df):
keys, values = df.sort_values('a').values.T
ukeys, index = np.unique(keys, True)
arrays = np.split(values, index[1:])
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'a':ukeys, 'b':[list(a) for a in arrays]})
return df2
Tests:
In [301]: %timeit f(df)
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.64 ms per loop
In [302]: %timeit df.groupby('a')['b'].apply(list)
100 loops, best of 3: 5.26 ms per loop

As you were saying the groupby method of a pd.DataFrame object can do the job.
Example
L = ['A','A','B','B','B','C']
N = [1,2,5,5,4,6]
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(zip(L,N),columns = list('LN'))
groups = df.groupby(df.L)
groups.groups
{'A': [0, 1], 'B': [2, 3, 4], 'C': [5]}
which gives and index-wise description of the groups.
To get elements of single groups, you can do, for instance
groups.get_group('A')
L N
0 A 1
1 A 2
groups.get_group('B')
L N
2 B 5
3 B 5
4 B 4

A handy way to achieve this would be:
df.groupby('a').agg({'b':lambda x: list(x)})

To solve this for several columns of a dataframe:
In [5]: df = pd.DataFrame( {'a':['A','A','B','B','B','C'], 'b':[1,2,5,5,4,6],'c'
...: :[3,3,3,4,4,4]})
In [6]: df
Out[6]:
a b c
0 A 1 3
1 A 2 3
2 B 5 3
3 B 5 4
4 B 4 4
5 C 6 4
In [7]: df.groupby('a').agg(lambda x: list(x))
Out[7]:
b c
a
A [1, 2] [3, 3]
B [5, 5, 4] [3, 4, 4]
C [6] [4]
This answer was inspired from Anamika Modi's answer. Thank you!

Use any of the following groupby and agg recipes.
# Setup
df = pd.DataFrame({
'a': ['A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'C'],
'b': [1, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6],
'c': ['x', 'y', 'z', 'x', 'y', 'z']
})
df
a b c
0 A 1 x
1 A 2 y
2 B 5 z
3 B 5 x
4 B 4 y
5 C 6 z
To aggregate multiple columns as lists, use any of the following:
df.groupby('a').agg(list)
df.groupby('a').agg(pd.Series.tolist)
b c
a
A [1, 2] [x, y]
B [5, 5, 4] [z, x, y]
C [6] [z]
To group-listify a single column only, convert the groupby to a SeriesGroupBy object, then call SeriesGroupBy.agg. Use,
df.groupby('a').agg({'b': list}) # 4.42 ms
df.groupby('a')['b'].agg(list) # 2.76 ms - faster
a
A [1, 2]
B [5, 5, 4]
C [6]
Name: b, dtype: object

If looking for a unique list while grouping multiple columns this could probably help:
df.groupby('a').agg(lambda x: list(set(x))).reset_index()
回答8:
Let us using df.groupby with list and Series constructor
pd.Series({x : y.b.tolist() for x , y in df.groupby('a')})
Out[664]:
A [1, 2]
B [5, 5, 4]
C [6]
dtype: object

Here I have grouped elements with "|" as a separator import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('input.csv')
df
Out[1]:
Area Keywords
0 A 1
1 A 2
2 B 5
3 B 5
4 B 4
5 C 6
df.dropna(inplace = True)
df['Area']=df['Area'].apply(lambda x:x.lower().strip())
print df.columns
df_op = df.groupby('Area').agg({"Keywords":lambda x : "|".join(x)})
df_op.to_csv('output.csv')
Out[2]:
df_op
Area Keywords
A [1| 2]
B [5| 5| 4]
C [6]
